Dating was a lil easier when i was younger.. dont know why that was.. but I ve been bless with 8 babies.I m married but separated. Trying to work things out... but its not easy. I dislike people who stare. I mean dont they think that if it was them would the enjoy that behavior.. and men dont seem to grow up and get past the looks.
